  • C) above can be accomplished, for example, by (i) use of refrigeration or other cooling means, (ii) allowing the mixture to stand so that it loses heat to the surroundings,

  • organic solvent can contain water before initiating the addition thereto of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and/or water can be added to the reaction mixture at one or more times apart from the water added by way of the aqueous sodium hydroxide solution.
  • the amount of the organic solvent relative to the amount of water should be at least enough to distill away substantially all of water present in the reaction mixture and still provide a slurry of sodium ibuprofen in organic solvent. If necessary more organic solvent can be added to the reaction mixture before completing or resuming distillation to remove the water from the reaction mixture.
  • recovered sodium salt of ibuprofen is washed at least once with organic solvent, which need not be, but preferably is, the same type of solvent used as the organic solvent in A). After such washing, the sodium salt of ibuprofen is dried.
  • Fig. 1 is a plot showing the effect of variance in NaOH concentration on average particle size of sodium ibuprofen produced experimentally in the practice of this invention.

  • the excess unreacted ibuprofen can be removed by washing the recovered sodium ibuprofen product with organic solvent.
  • the aqueous sodium hydroxide solution is added at a rate that does not cause the mixture to boil before the addition has been completed. However one or more momentary periods of boiling can be tolerated as long as the resultant sodium ibuprofen product formed possesses a desirable targeted median particle size within the range of 50 to 700 microns.
  • step A) an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide is introduced portionwise into a solution of ibuprofen in a distillable liquid organic solvent.
  • the solvent optionally is in a two-phase liquid mixture with water initially added apart from the water in the aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide.

Such distillation can thus be performed at atmospheric pressure or at reduced pressure.

  • Preferred organic solvents are aliphatic hydrocarbons that have the foregoing boiling characteristics.
  • Non-limiting examples of aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents that may be selected for use include, n-pentane, n-hexane, cyclohexane, n-heptane and isooctane. Use of n-hexane is recommended.
  • Cooling in C) of the slurry formed in B) can be conducted simply by allowing the slurry to stand at room temperature.
  • the slurry may be cooled by use of conventional cooling procedures such as refrigeration, use of vessels equipped with indirect heat exchanger piping or jackets, or the like.
  • Phase Separations [0022]
  • the phase separations used in the process embodiments of this invention are a distillation and a physical solids-liquid separation. Methods of conducting such operations are well known and involve use of readily available equipment and conventional operating procedures.
  • the distillation in B) can be conducted at atmospheric pressure or under reduced pressure conditions.
  • the literature contains considerable information concerning distillation temperatures for binary and ternary mixtures of water and various organic solvents and in any given case such literature should be consulted if the boiling temperature of a proposed water- organic solvent mixture is not already known. If necessary, a trial distillation can be conducted to determine if the proposed water-organic solvent combination will remove the water at a temperature in the range of 50 tol20°C using appropriate reduced pressure conditions if necessary. Experience has shown that n-hexane is an entirely suitable solvent for use in the process.
  • the physical solids-liquid separation procedure used in D) is typically filtration or centrifugation. Washing and Drying

  • the solids were isolated by centrifugation and washed with hexanes.
  • Example 2 The experimental procedure of Example 2 was repeated with ibuprofen dissolved in hexanes (33.3 wt% ibuprofen). The difference between this experimental procedure and that of Example 2 was that water in an amount corresponding to 0.50 gram per gram of neat NaOH to be used, was added to the ibuprofen solution in hexanes before the dropwise feed of the 50 wt% aqueous solution of NaOH. The effective concentration of NaOH used was thus 40 wt%. Free water was distilled from the reactor containing a significant amount of solids until the pot temperature of 62.6°C was reached. Isolation of sodium 2-(4- isobutylphenyl)propionate product was done the same way as in Example 2.
  • the wet product was dried at 40 0 C. Titration for water by the Karl Fischer method yielded a value of 13.69 wt% for the sodium 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propionate product. The product was also analyzed for particle size, and these results are given in the Table.
  • Example 3 The experimental procedure of Example 3 was repeated with ibuprofen dissolved in hexane (33.3 wt% ibuprofen). The difference between this experimental procedure and that of Example 3 was that more water (1.08 grams per gram of neat NaOH) was added before the dropwise addition of the 50 wt% aqueous solution of NaOH. The effective concentration of NaOH used was thus 32.5 wt%. Free water was distilled from the reactor containing a significant amount of solids until the pot temperature of 62.6°C was reached. Product was isolated as in Example 3. The wet product was dried at 40 0 C. Titration for water by the Karl Fischer method yielded a value of 13.63 wt% for the product. The product was also analyzed for particle size, and these results are given in the Table.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un sel de sodium d'ibuprofène hydraté à écoulement libre à dimension de particule et teneur en eau moyennes. Ce sel peut être produit par addition de NaOH aqueux à une solution ou une suspension d'ipubrofène sans ébullition dans un solvant organique qui peut être distillé avec de l'eau à une température comprise entre 50 et 120 °C. Le taux d'addition de NaOH se situe à un taux n'entraînant pas l'ébullition du mélange de réaction obtenu avant l'achèvement de l'addition. Après achèvement de l'addition, l'eau, et certains solvants organiques sont éliminés par distillation. Après refroidissement, le sel de sodium d'ibuprofène hydraté est récupéré de la suspension obtenue. Le procédé permet à la dimension de particule moyenne du sel de sodium d'ibuprofène formé d'être contrôlée par sélection et utilisation d'une concentration efficace prédéfinie de NaOH dans la solution de NaOH aqueuse utilisée.
